Question

Read the passage: "Well, I am not a crook. I have earned everything I have got." Based on the word earned, what is Nixon's message?

A. His message is that he is not concerned about this image.
B. His message is that he deserves all of the importance and benefits he has received.
C. His message is that he will not run for reelection.
D. His message is that he knows the law well.

Answer 1

I am unsure on this but I believe it is either a or b. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The answer I believe would be B. Because when you earn something you deserve it. He is saying that he did not steal anything and what he has is rightfully his, he has earned it. I am not sure this would be correct or if what I have said makes any sense.
